Another features missing that I remember from using it for testing:
- No UI (yet) to add new search engines.
Yeah, nobody has complained about this is several years, but this would be good to have indeed. I think the vast majority of users are satisfied with the current options (DuckDuckGo, Google, and Bing) though. The problem with adding arbitrary search engines is that we don't want to expose users to format strings, so we have to think a bit about how the UI should work. Perhaps we should just expand the list of search engine options to match what Firefox offers.
For what it's worth, I'm a *huge* user of arbitrary search engines. In Firefox and Chrome, I have them saved as keyword searches so I can do things like `man gcc` and `bz 1296670` and `koji sssd`
and those will immediately take me to the appropriate pages on those sites. That to me is a killer feature that would prevent me from switching (but don't let that affect the default discussion; I will still install whichever browser works best for me).
